Prayers up for Delmonico.
Slim: Would that be Marshfield , Missouri? If so, open the window and say "hey!" as you're going by the 145 exit, if you use I-44.
Green Bean Casserole is already made for the Great Feast. Turkey just went in the oven. Last night-pies. There's THREE of them, and only 4 of us! Two Sweet Tater, one (store bought) pumpkin. Reason for Sweet tater-we grew a bunch of them in the garden last year. Reason for (store bought) punkin, Wife thought we should have some punkin, and they failed in the garden last summer. Just a few small ones made it, and NO winter squash at all. But we planted 3 hills of decorative mini gourds, and, we got hundreds of the little suckers. Sold a bunch at the farmers market, gave some away, bunch of them still sitting around being decorative.
Anyway, S.Tater pies were scratch, I made the crust, wife filling and bakes them. Del will be proud that for the first time I used Lard instead of Crisco, haven't tasted it yet, but I have to say it was the EASIEST pie crust dough to work with I've ever made.
